Globally, an unprecedented 131 million people are affected by humanitarian crises worldwide. Children, who constitute just under half of the affected population, are particularly vulnerable in these situations, which present grave risks to their physical health and psychological well-being.

This course examines how children’s social environments at different levels, such as the family, community and societal levels, influence children’s adversity, development and resilience.
